I noticed that the stub fails only when boot with completely clean system.
Some DOSes leave PATH in environment which has a value of 0. PATH is then
followed by another 0 which causes stub to think that it has reached the end
of environment (I have confirmed this on PC-DOS 3.30, MS-DOS 3.30 and MS-DOS
6.22). If, however, you execute SET PATH= from command line, everything works
ok.

You can't brush me under the carpet, you can't hide me under the stairs,
The custodian of your private fears, your leading actor of yesteryear,
Who as you crawled out of the alleys of obscurity, sentenced to rejection
 in the morass of anonymity. You who I directed with a lover's will, you
 who I let hypnotise the lens. You who I let bathe in the spotlights glare.
You who wiped me from your memory like a greasepaint mask, just like a
 greasepaint mask...
